Hello tronator.....

You still havnt told us what RAM the machine has?

TICK and FIX these in hijack ~
R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = 2Fdefault.aspx&lc=2057&id=64855&mkt=en-gb
F2 - REG:system.ini: UserInit=C:\WINDOWS\System32\Userinit.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [service] C:\WINDOWS\services.exe -serv
O23 - Service: ISEXEng - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\System32\angelex.exe (file missing)



Please run COMBOFIX
http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/ComboFix.exe
Shut down your anti virus
Follow the simple instructions it gives
Post the COMPLETE log it creates here (Split into sections if need be) ~ if there are loads of 'SNAPSHOT' pages then leave them out

If it comes up with a RENAMING error then RIGHT click the exe file and RENAME and call it QWERTY (Making the complete file name 'QWERTY.exe') Or SAVE as 'QWERTY' on download
(If no log comes up or you lose it, COMBOFIX.TXT can be found in C drive)

Right-Click on the My Computer icon on the desktop and select Properties.

It will tell you how much memory it has under the Computer section (just under where all the stuff is blurred out in this pic):



E.g. This one has 3.25GB of RAM

(Before any of the techies say - yes it probably has more, but on a 32-bit OS )
